Terrible.

What was supposed to be a fun 4th of July celebration yesterday turned terrifying for attendees at the Stadium of Fire event at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah, home of the BYU Cougars.

Video from the event shows the start of the fireworks show, just after the flyover. But it's immediately clear that something's not right, as instead of going up in the air, several of the shots fire towards the field and into fans in the stands.

The U. S. Congress is currently considering a proposal to retain a section of wilderness near Steamboat Springs where several investors, over the course of 50 years, hoped and tried - and failed - to build a ski resort.  A bill to expand the Sarvis Creek Wilderness to its original form was introduced by Rep. Joe Neguse and Sens. Michael Bennett and John Hickenlooper in March. It awaits a hearing in the House's Committee on Natural Resources. What's been set aside since the 1970s is a 6,817-acre stretch along the Green and Harrison Creeks. The area, called Pleasant Valley, was first...

Saratoga Springs, UT

When the Declaration of Independence was first penned, it was a bold proclamation aimed at securing the freedoms and rights of a fledgling nation. While many of those freedoms have been preserved over the last two centuries, others have begun to slip away, almost unnoticed. Among these lost liberties is the freedom to use one’s property as one sees fit. The neighborhood corner store was once a vibrant community hub. With baskets of colorful produce outside, inexpensive treats and sodas for kids and meat from nearby farms, these stores were more than just places to shop. They were gathering spots...
